BP (NYSE:BP) Oil Spill Didn't Hurt Birds Much Says Audubon

Experts from the National Audubon Society said after investigating marshes of Louisiana during September, they found the bird populations were doing very well after the BP (NYSE:BP) oil spill.

After walking the area, only 3 birds among an approximate 10,000 counted had any oil on them. Brown pelicans were also found in abundance, with over half being born this year.

Unsurprisingly the Audubon report said it was too early to say the bird populations are safe in the area, but that's being too cautious, as from the beginning reports were the damage to birds was far less than it was thought it would be.

The usual fears about the food chain were reiterated again, even though every test so far for seafood has come back with no taint at all. Either someone is lying or the truth that the spill wasn't anywhere near as catastrophic as the media hype portrayed is what really happened.

One dirty little secret in the so-called green energy sector is windmills in just one ugly forest of them will kill more bats and birds in a year than the entirety of the BP oil spill. When will the outcry against those hideous monstrosities emerge?

As far dead birds, while over 6,100 dead ones have been collected, only 2,263 have had oil on them. That means the rest, for the most part, died of usual natural causes.

The narrative from the spill has always outraged those opponents of oil drilling, as the consequences are far less than thought, and the evidence continues to mount that the Gulf of Mexico is able to clean itself of oil better than expected.

Even the assertions by scientists with agendas that oil is still all over the Gulf and its shores is highly exaggerated and unproven. Certain parts have some of course, but many have little if any. Again, the Gulf is a far better healer of itself than many want to admit.
